there had to be some idiot trying to moralize a capitalist process. what does "respect the band" even mean? normies are so dumb omfg, always justifying the shit of their time. but most of all, they are boring, predictable. countdown to a sad reply that of course will never address any argument. dumbshits.

Michael Sandison, crying near his fridgeSynth9000, because a fan disrespected him by listening to the album a bit earlier. It was so important for him that the album only would be listened after a commercial transaction has taken place in the agreed date with their publisher. Poor soul. Now his art is meaningless.

why didn't Marcus write anything on the album?

I suspect he's always been the lesser part of the group, not sure if they've been this transparent about album credits previously but they wouldn't be the first duo to be contribute unevenly

London leak gentlemen, we keep on winning. How many listens are you in? Going for my 5th myself. Imagine when these dirty, muddled, low-end melodies get swung up to their fullest of expression, how sweet our appreciation will be. I just can't wait.

it boggles my brain that the 1 miniute snippet from the peel session is the only audio we've ever heard of the two lad's voices. they sound like normal scottish frens

Majority of you on this shithole website are ding dongs and have no clue how to use the internet. Yes, Mike said something in 1997 about writing everything. Then in a 2013 interview he said the total fucking opposite:


"Sandison: "We throw tracks back and forward at each other. Sometimes we jam the core idea down as a take, or one of us will start something and hand it over, and vice-versa. There isn't really one method or any particular strength for either of us because it changes from track to track. We both write melodies but at the same time we're both technicians in some way, so the process is quite unpredictable and messy."

Don't know what of though.

Is that the cover? Never seen that photo before. I'm almost more interested on knowing how this tape is called/presented than the sounds.

Honestly it doesn't sound toooooo different to me. It is a cassette after all. My heart skipped a bit thinking it'd be one of the fully lost albums. P cool though.
>>
>>130426565
Imagine if it's one of the lost albums.
I wonder what Mike will say about it when he goes on Joe Rogan.
>>
>>130426565
probs just a second rip of the original. It sounds great going by the YT but a little bit of it is muddy, We have had the stuff that is already out there, I think a new tape of unreleased might be a bit too much even for this blessed month.

If only bro. Surely if it's the bros they would put out something genuinely unreleased or put a name to an untitled track or whatever, to make people go truly apeshit. All this stuff is welcome (especially the soundboard tracks) all the same but I don't think it's has come from them.
>>
>>130426688
holy fuck, first time hearing this. Though the blurbs about Acid Memories and their other released was myth making but that is surely from Acid Memories era when they were apparently making shoegazy stuff.
>>
>>130426752
statue of liberty also has a great shoegaze-y goth adjacent sound to it

I have nothing to say or to add, don't read this, I'm just waiting for Friday when my preorder at the new record store comes in, so I cheat my lunch break, being tracked on my phone, I'll just leave the phone at work, go 2 the store grab Inferno, bolt home, download the wav.files and listen on my headphones on the bus ride to see my girl. It's all set up so perfectly in my mind, I got the shittiest/cheapest headphones, I can hear everything happening while it plays, just hoping everyone around me can add to the experience. I fuggin can't wait.
>>
>>130425940
How come boc fans are more than happy to share rare stuff like this? For other bands people tend to be super gatekeepy and even secretive
>>
>>130426741
I just don’t see where else it could’ve come from. The timing is suspicious too, with the lossless Old Tunes and ATP stuff (and new album)
>>
>>130427155
They're not, only recently some kid got bullied out of releasing a soundboard of a live performance and Geogaddi demos by Reddit.
Though that could just be Reddit, they have a precedent of being absolute fucking faggots after all.
>>
chode above says Acid Memories was myth making. Another 4chan turd.
>>
>>130427197
reddit ruins so many chances for cool leaks for various properties because "muh artistic integrity"
I'm just glad we got "ATP Live 07" that was my favorite in the set
>>
>>130427155
cos the length between album releases is 50 zillion years and they have a bunch of unreleased stuff they're being annoying about unlike most IDM artists who have given us plenty of their demos/outtakes.

There will be a limited cassette version, which could be pre-ordered at the listening sessions through Bleep. If anything, only a small number of cassettes will be available for everyone else.

All of this just as a new album is coming out as well? There is no way this isn't part of the marketing right?

sure hope these ppl who wont leak out of respect for da bros aren't listening to any of the recent old tunes and r35tt leaks bc that would be very disrespectful!!!111

fortunately this is the only weak album they made. Compared to TCH High-Tech High-Life by 1991 is a masterpiece
>>
>>130431929
But that album is a masterpiece, friend. Doesn't take any of the greatness away from Campfire Headphase.
>>
some people talk about tch like it's a bad album even though it is better than 99% of the music made
>>
>>130431929
>High-Tech High-Life by 1991
Literally what?
>>
how can there be so many reviews of the album so far and not a single copy of it online, how those people listened to it?
>>
>>130432006
there's a shitty phone recording of the london session out there, search for boards of canada inferno on soulseek if you wanna hear that
>>
>>130431929
checking this out, thanks
>>
>>130432006
they got an early review copy, apparently it was called "helium - helium" internally. there's a couple of CDs that arrived at people's homes today, the vinyl too I assume, so it's just a matter of time..

Option 2 is the most likely. The sense of righteousness is definitely more prevalent than it was 20 years ago, it's also definitely more prevalent with BoC fans.
To me it's not even about the money, I could buy the most expensive limited edition if I wanted, but but there's something unfair about people having access to the album and being smarky cunts about piracy while it's really about having access at the same time as them. Counting all the early reviews of the album, this is kind of killing the hype for me.

Yeah it's more about status or people just loving the justify the status quo because of their stupid brain that demands the illusion that everything is fair and hierarchies are amazing

You guys must understand that 95% of people are normies who don't even know what Soulseek is. And about 60% of those people do know what reddit is, so for the very few people who have received their orders early, the chances of any of those people leaking it is miniscule. There have been, what, 2 people who've posted their copies online? As soon as a single major city's post office ships out a big batch and we see loads of redditors bragging, that is probably the point at which it is appropriate to complain and seethe all day about people's personal views about artist intentions or status quo or whatever. Until then I would just do something productive with your time.
>>130432839
If an album not being leaked by a random person kills it's hype fo you, I think you might be a bit entitled. Regardless of your views on cultural access via piracy.
>>
>>130433004
you're right. the science thing is more about people justifying the gatekeeping at this point for people who actually pre-ordered and just want to listen to it early (for actual piracy is more debatable, sure)
>>
>>130432983
kek, shocked it hasn't been done already

>>130432839
writing reviews on music is a waste of time anyway unless it's about strictly logical values.
Everyone will have a different experience.

Based boc fans not leaking because we appreciate the fleeting wonder of anticipation. I choose to embrace the arbitrary construct of a release date simply because it's comfy to have something to look forward to

Honestly I don't care if people leak it, but I'm with you on the wait. Most people will listen to it that day as well, so it'll be cool to share the emotion.

Not liking too much the discourse about climate change being denied essentially by free-market liberals just because its mitigation would threaten their worldview.
Firstly, the issue of climate change and its mitigation is complex, there's not only one way to interpret how climate is changing and what could be done to slow down global temperature increase. To me, environmentalism is more important than discourse about mitigation: you could implement some ways to mitigate climate change, in a authoritarian manner, and yet it could still barely have an impact (in a similar way as people were dancing on the fields to invoke rain), while just being respectful of nature in general could lead to very tangible results without the authoritarian aspect of regulation.
Secondly, some pro-business governments are very much into exploiting an agenda about climate change to perpetuate hierarchies, for example, by taxation of vehicles and greenwashing, none of which really helps.

Now, to replace this in the context of BoC, this is about Warp and their marketing strategy to create hype for the album. Maybe it's autism that's talking, but it feels wrong and shallow to me. Yet it works from a business standpoint, people are accepting the way this album is released (which was also the case for TH). Marketing, advertisement, distribution and media, it's a system people are accepting because they don't see what's wrong with it.

Not trying to look entitled, as >>>>130433004 seems to think, but I'm trying to understand how Warp and BoC managed not to get the album leaked, and twice in 13 years.

this was just the first paper that i found that talked about the hierarchical worldview divide between liberals vs conservatives. there are various other papers best suited for this talk, I agree with your observations about climate change specifically. sorry I'm just lazy, but yeah there are somewhere papers that talk about the different brains of these two groups, the different value system and it's pretty interesting. basically liberals usually support justice and for outside groups too, conservatives are more preoccupied with not making too many changes and more willing to defend what liberals see as injustice just to keep stuff the same, because they cum with that

This smacks of the studio releasing old material themselves and playing into the mystique by having random internet poster "discover" it on old forums that they can't name.
Not that I'm complaining, even though it sounds like it. I'm guessing this means no Bocset ever though.
I wonder if he'll coincidentally stumble into copies of the old albums at a garage sale or charity shop or something.
>>
>>130433519
I wish he'd split the files, he didn't do it for vol 1 and 2 either.

It's definitely the brothers or a close friend/family member feeding him this stuff.
>>
>>130433786
They presaged vaporwave. You could probably classify them as downtempo/triphop, but there are many degrees of separation between them and Massive Attack or Portishead.
I'm not really sure what else you would categorize them as. They say IDM, but that's so varied it may as well not have any meaning at all. They're hauntologists end of day. Apparently they started writing music as a shoegaze sort of outfit and you can hear a little bit of this on Inferno, along with post-punk/krautrock, darkwave and industrial influences.

and the rest you could just chalk up to being more text to round out the visuals. or there could be more coming but I doubt that
